guns and CGI will the used instead.
I would thing Actors would also be happy to eliminate the noise, esp in close quarters.

Terrible show. Pure propaganda.

'The Rookie' is just the beginning of CGI gun shots . . . - Billy Wonka 09:24:37 10/23/21 (7)
But, when you look at films like the John Wick series (or other violent films) it is amazing that the law of averages hasn't happened more often.

The main question is: How did live rounds get onto the set? This is a case for Columbo.

  All that automatic weapons fire must damage their hearing.

    It's called SOUND EFFECTS for a reason. Machine Gun Fire is NOT recorded live on the set but I suspect ADDED to the 'sound mix' in 'post'.......

      aren't they firing blanks during the filming?
      It's still going to be Loud.
      Maybe it doesn't bother them.

        You know, I don't know WHAT they fire. I've seen some ash/ sparks come out of the barrel of some guns which tells me a paper wad over a SMALL charge of powder. Still dangerous at very short distances.
        Even firing JUST an empty cartridge with good primar is LOUD....
        
        I suppose that these days it is even THEORETICALLY possible to use animation for some gun scenes.
        
        I know the set / production company EMPLOYS an armorer who has the responsibility for ALL firearms used in a production.
        
        This whole thing is going to spiral out of control and we'll be lucky to still have Honest Violence in the movies in 5 years.....

        In order to make it function with no bullets, a special device is put over the muzzle, and as result their report is quieter.
        
        Thanks! nt - oldmkvi 18:12:47 10/23/21 (0)

        Right.....need some BACKPRESSURE to cycle the action.......'Recoil Operated'.......
        Normally, the time the bullet spends IN the barrel is able to generate such pressure to cycle.
        
        I don't know if adding the sound is the responsibility of the 'special effects' guy or the Foley.......
